Notes
New Notes:
I'm pretty happy with how the patches sound in general because of the great sources available,
however the 1st Set needs desperately to be pitch corrected, so hopefully someone with that knowledge
can take the reigns.
The 2nd Set patches in my opinion however, came out Grate!

Well, I just want to be sure this is the sound check? Pretty wild stuff here. Compliments to The first reviewer it would be pretty easy for me to rabbit

trail But I will play it forward never straight I believe the expression is THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM In this case Life is but a dream.. The Bird Song is very fat large El Grande.. Big River just perfect and sparking Weir just blazes the lyrics This goes a long way toward explaining the truism it’s not the list but the vibe.. Those pitch distortions in Bird Song and Jed Kinda remind me of a couple of strange trips But I digress The only remotely comparable event in the later era would be the New England Stadium show When the boys hit the lot with Los Lobos. Like that this 73 soundcheck had to have blown some minds THIS IS ONLY A TEST! During the Rio Grande Donna is in the mix Me & My Uncle-fierce Hey Now!!! The jam just comes out of nowhere My theory is by not going with Dark Star Or The Other One they leave room for a little suspense. This kinda stuff is what I really enjoyed from the band it got regulated over time to pre or post drums but this is the essence of the term Jam Band. If you see a band now that is free forming their jams then you are in high cotton, Another thought here is that this is a Slipknot jam a few summers proceeding 1975 And to go with that thought It kinda sounds like a Franklin’s before there was a Franklins. Towards the end of the jam I think they hit a feeling groovy jam which to my ear gets the crowd thinking audibly RIDER but alas it settles into Wharf Rat This is a trippy well delivered Wharf Rat All on its own You might say this reaps the benefits of the previous 20 minutes of jams Slight hint of the Earlier Bird Song Just drifting in the air So more coincidence They opened with Promised They closed with Around A Chuck Berry sammy! Do Androids dream of electronic sheep?

Just before my 10th birthday, I was listening through the wall (at my 12yr old sister playing "Europe '72" !!!! (The dates may be off, but the music never
...
seemed to be,... to an impressionable pre-teen of the mid-late 70's. ) by the time I entered JHS, my friends and I had been bitten!!! We were JUST discovering what are now "Dead" standards like "Sugar Mag.", "One More Sat. Night", and, perhaps, "Casey Jones" too, being played by local bands, at local 'keg-parties"!!! (Yeah, 13 & 14yr. olds were ALWAYS at, [or 'having'] keg-parties in the latter 70's, to be sure !!!) As I get closer to 60yrs.-old, now, I can look back at that decade as THEE BEST decade to be 'coming of age' in America. !!!! (More of that at a later time !!!). But it was the ability to BEGIN collecting 'Tapes' several years later that allowed one to not only 'replay' the VERY LATEST CONCERT, but to hear the VERY LATEST SHOW THAT YOU HAD ATTENDED !!!! Something never done by ANY OTHER BAND, PERIOD !!!! And this, of course, made those shows 'intimate', just by the mere fact that YOU KNEW YOU WERE ON TAPE, AS PART OF THE 'ATTENDING AUDIENCE', regardless of whether or not you could HEAR YOUR OWN VOICE,...??? You just KNEW you were on that 'taped show', regardless. And that was both, pretty cool, and enticing to 'collect' ANY live 'bootleg', as 'The Tapers Section' began to take hold as seminal territory. Now, Thank God for the "Archive"!!! I've TRULY learned to actually 'HEAR' the music broken down into the 5-6 instruments of each band members input to the 'whole' through the use of HEADPHONES, and copies of downloaded 'Soundboard' recordings, as well as 'Audience' tapes. It has truly opened up a fresh, new method of listening to the Grateful Dead ALL OVER AGAIN!!!! It has allowed old Deadhead's like me, to listen to SO MUCH MORE 'GRATEFUL DEAD' THAN I EVER DREAMED POSSIBLE, especially WITH SUCH PRISTINE CLARITY!!!! Can't wait to listen to this classic, too!!!!!
